ALLERGIC DISEASE PREVENTION AND RISK FACTOR IDENTIFICATION

There is a widespread impression that the incidence of allergic diseases (asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema) has increased in the past 15 to 20 years. 9,30 Although asthma is the most serious of these atopic diseases, the impact on quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis is significant. Despite major advances in asthma management, morbidity and mortality from asthma continue to increase. 13,14 It has been estimated that 4% to 6% of children have food allergies, 8% to 10% have asthma, and 15% to 25% have allergic rhinitis (Fig. 1) Genetic predisposition and environmental exposure are important factors in the development of allergic disease. Many parents seek advice from their primary care physician or allergist on ways to prevent allergies in their children. Although genetic engineering holds promise for the future, current recommendations are based on reduction of allergen exposure to prevent sensitization.
